After years of waiting, the spot where Julius Caesar met his untimely end at the hands of senators has finally been opened to the public in Rome. On June 17th, 2023, the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum announced the opening of the Largo di Torre Argentina archaeological site, where the assassination of Caesar took place in 44 BC.
The site, which is located in the heart of Rome's historical center, has been closed to the public for over a decade due to ongoing restoration work. However, visitors can now freely explore the area and witness the very spot where one of history's most infamous events occurred.
The assassination of Caesar, who was a Roman general and statesman, took place on March 15th, 44 BC, inside the Curia of Pompey. The senators who carried out the assassination believed that Caesar's growing power threatened the Roman Republic, and they saw his death as a necessary action to preserve their way of life.
The opening of this historical site is a significant event for Rome and its visitors, as it provides a unique opportunity to connect with history and witness the place where one of the most important figures in Roman history met his end. The Largo di Torre Argentina archaeological site is now open for visitors, and it is a must-see destination for anyone interested in history and ancient culture.
